DO SKITS-o-PREEN-ya help?
No, they don't.
They are meant just to do what the COINed word indicates.
It's meant to drive you bonkers.
If you are a rape victim and you were traumatized by it, would you want me to ask somebody to rape you over and over to help you get over the trauma?
Or do you want to see somebody else raped to jog your memory about what really happened?
If the first time does not make you "remember" what I want you to "remember", do you want me to do it again?
And again and again and again..?
If somebody you know was murdered and I want you to get over the pain, do you want me to have somebody murdered again so you will get used to it? If the first try does not work, how many people do you still want to see murdered so you will be cured of your trauma? Do you want me to ask for donations so we can pay off global actors who can make the skits more realistic, more creative?
Do you want me to bombard you with stories, news about some people in your circle who died, murdered so you will know you are not alone?
In the meantime, will you understand if we laugh at your expense (this is the only thing we'll get out of doing this very altruistic program for you), taunt you, gloat at you so we can elicit the response that we need to get you to join our program?
And while we're at it, we will also make it less boring to engage more participants(we hope you understand) so we will bet on who's gonna be successful in getting a rise out of you.
No, that anger that you feel? It isn't true. You are not angry at all. It's just an emotion that you need so you can process your issues. You need to be angry so we will have articles to write and sell -errr - to submit to those funding us - err - so you can identify the root of your problem and get to the bottom of it.
Uh? Do they not realize they are the root of the problem? The leaves? The branches... The tree.
What do they not understand in: "Stop, you are hurting me. Stop, you are slowly killing me... Stop, you have been destroying my life all along..."?
What do they not understand in: You know what makes me angry? That you lie to the bone! That you want me to thank you for deceiving me from then till now. You could so easily choose the easiest way for all of us - tell the truth straight out, yet you choose to continue to let me live in a world of lies.
You do not have to waste all our lives trying to keep covering up the lies. You need not even waste all the resources just so you can set-up curtains over curtains over curtains on the stage of deception you all maintain to continually dupe me.
The truth doesn't even need even a PESO to tell.
It's free.
It's freeing.
Not only to the victims.
But to all those involved in the lie.
Why do perps and victim-slash-perps choose to live a life of SKITS-o-PREEN-ya then?
